Though not open to the public, it is a favorite for photography and sightseeing.

    Hawa Mahal, also known as the "Palace of Winds," is a stunning pink sandstone structure in Jaipur, built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. Designed in the shape of a crown, it features 953 small windows or "jharokhas" that allow cool breezes to pass through, offering a natural cooling system. The palace was built for the royal women to observe street life and festivals without being seen. Its unique blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture, along with intricate lattice work, makes it one of Jaipur's most iconic landmarks.

    The Monkey Temple, or Galtaji Temple, is a historic Hindu pilgrimage site situated about 10 kilometers from Jaipur in the Aravalli Hills.
